Wood Windows

A North East Portland stucco home with cedar lap siding around the 2nd story.

Time to recycle the aluminum storm windows, and upgrade the original single-pane sash with the latest retro-fit windows.

Which will also allow openings that were painted shut long ago to be returned to their former operable glory.

As you can see, these wood clad Marvin products come with the factory painted aluminum cladding on the exterior.

The cladding protects the new wood windows & the windows have a vastly improved weatherstripping around their perimeter.

Many are those who will point out the number of years it will take to offset the cost of the…

…windows with any energy savings, using only the math related to the single-pane to double-pane comparisons.

However, they almost always overlook the added, much less measurable energy saving benefits of the latest perimeter weatherstripping.

And then there’s the value of someday being able to market your house with the latest and greatest window technology available.

Another oft overlooked benefit is the “sound abatement” that insulated glass affords, as compared to single pane.
